Professional Development Workshops
ACASE workshops are tailored specifically to the needs of your district, school, and your teachers. Ranging in time from half a day to two weeks in length, we provide continuing support over the school year as needed or desired.
Many teachers from previous workshops have gone forward with the work they began with us—some of this work can be seen in refinements to assessments posted on this website, other work will be incorporated after further testing by other teachers.
Workshops we have offered previously include:
- Administering & Reliably Rating Performance Assessments
- Using the AIS Information System to Conduct Action Research
- Building Bridges from Standards to Classroom Practice
- Building Learning Goals for Practical Planning, Evaluation, and Improvement of Instruction
- Building Performance Assessments

Design and Consulting
We develop practical systems that teachers and educational policy makers can use to create educational settings where all students can achieve their potential. Our special contribution is designing rigorous ways to see whether students are attaining high level educational goals. We believe that our approach to solving educational problems is both unique and needed. The following are some of the services we provide:
